Well I'm certainly looking forward to AI doing the fundamental research needed to model the behavior and work with certain hardware components, or writing clock cycle exact embedded code for complex applications, or debugging a timing

Same here. I don't doubt people's experiences, but I have never received a counterfeit product while shopping relatively heavily and in various categories (electronics, baby clothing and food, books, kitchenware, stationery, et

Mearsheimer is not only not towing the party line of "Putin is crazy and he wants to bulldoze Ukraine", but he also predicted the current events since 2014 or so (watch his presentation on YouTube). So of course he would be on tha

Well, if you want to go down that road, someone's belief that they identify as a woman despite being xy is also irrational...

"France is still 86% white people, mostly french." Now look forward 30-50 years, and see who is more: the native population who has no kids or very few ones, or the immigrant cultures that encourage 3-5+ kids per family. It&#x27

This is at best "first year student sat down for an hour to hand in a half baked homework" level. We seem to have very different ideas of what "creativity" means.

Yeah, wake me up when it can do close to the metal programming on an ARM to fulfill real time requests from an industrial robot, for instance...also, in safety critical systems, as a bonus. I'm not saying that it will never happen, bu

Praying for you and your son that it goes well, try to be optimistic.

Statistics are a thing, individual biology and factors are another thing. Had our son when I was 41 and hubby 47 - got pregnant easily, pregnancy and birth was no problem, kiddo doing great. We did not plan it this late, but just wanted

The Tanenbaum books on operating systems [1] and networks [2]. Here are just two samples, the various editions each have their slightly different illustrations. I've always found it really awesome how the cover of a book can clarify co

Time to capitalize on all the fearmongering of the last few years, before people realize we are not going to blow up in a ball of fire by 2030! The useful idiots are not going to milk themselves, you know...

"I tried telling myself that it's a childish and idealistic way of thinking and that it's all a part of career progression regardless of where you work at..." It's most definitely not! Many seem to think it is, bec

The main question for me is: why are you looking at ads on YouTube? Since I've been using adblockers forever, I went ten years or so before I even realized YouTube was showing ads...

Nope. From my experience working at a couple of startups in Europe, after the trial time is over, unless you s*t the bed royally, the workflow is: 1. we agree on xyz to be done and a time estimate 2. work on xyz within your 40h/week 3.

Like many others here, I never stopped. It's not about money, but availability and overall experience. An experience that has stuck in my mind: as a poor Eastern European who pirated everything as a student, after emigrating to the We

Yeah, pressing a light switch is a huge strain on the body and mind ;-) Lolz aside, as an engineer, the main turnoff for me is not the privacy, though that is a concern, but the introduction of complexity. I like my house like I like my sof

Funny how two people can have radically different experiences. I have lived 10 years in northern Germany as an immigrant from a poor eastern European country, never experienced anything other than kindness and openness. And yes, many of my

But "Twitter is a private company, they can ban anyone they want, and you're free to leave it if you don't like the terms"...at least this is what we've been hearing for years before Elon took over ;-)

"Recovery was fine. Wife up and walking at the end of the first day." So, exactly like a vaginal birth (speaking from my own experience) ;-) I don't understand the big fuss - sure it hurts, but it's endurable. And for th

No problem, anyone can identify as a woman these days...it's just a social construct, folks!

Everything worth having in life involves some risk - you could have a heart attack or a stroke the next minute, your wife/husband could cheat on you/leave you, the company you work for could implode and go bankrupt, and so on. Wha

For sure it's anecdotal, I just wanted to point out that at this age it is by far not next to impossible to have a child. I wouldn't rely on it, but it's also not a "1 in 100/1000" kind of situation. There are

So impossible that both I and my neighbour of similar age got pregnant within a couple of months of trying at 40...must be something in the water here. Or maybe we are just healthy and have good hormonal status ;-)

I had my child at 41 (I'm the mother), and I see none of these issues, and my son has been over 10kg for quite some months now. My early-30s colleague on the other hand complained of back pain already in her pregnancy. Age is not the d

If you want people off your website, why do you make it publicly available on the net? ;-)

And if you use your awesome painting skills to paint your house with some nice murals, will you charge me 5$ every time I pass by because I looked at something that was generated by you? If you want people to pay for something, ask them upf

I can totally recommend the Genki books combined with the Graded Readers! (besides any other materials you use, of course ;-) ) https://www.tofugu.com/reviews/genki-textbook/ http://www.japanesetease.ne

I'm a woman, and I absolutely agree with the OP. There is nothing in the world like the mother-child bond! Sure it's risky and is painful and it makes me scared sometimes, but the thought of some artificial womb producing my baby
